Abstract

A quick connector includes a connector housing (12) having a through bore (23) adapted to mate with an endform (14). An electrical contact is mountable in the bore of the connector housing and includes contact members in the form of projections (35, 110) to provide a secure electrical connection between the endform and the connector housing when the male endform is mounted in the connector housing. In one aspect, the electrical contact is formed as the spacer (33) or top hat (34) in the quick connector housing.
